Origin and history
The wooden house at 83 rue d'Amiens in Rouen is a typical example of 17th-century civil architecture. This type of construction, characterized by an apparent wooden frame, was common in medieval and Renaissance towns in Normandy. The façade of this house was protected by a ministerial decree in 1926, highlighting its heritage importance.
Rouen, a major port city on the Seine, was in the seventeenth century a dynamic economic and cultural center. Wood-paned houses, like this one, often served as housing for local merchants or artisans. Their wooden structure allowed rapid and economical construction, while offering a distinctive aesthetic still visible today.
The classification of the façade in 1926 reflects the gradual awareness of the historical value of these buildings. The precise location of this monument, noted as 'very satisfactory' (note 8/10), makes it an accessible point of interest in the city centre of Rouen. No information is available on its current use (visit, rental, etc.).
